I am thinking
to send you away
for your good
or for mine
I want to save you
to catch you
and if I cannot
I want others there
to do it for me
I cannot help myself
but want the best for you
that my money can buy
these days that is not much
But
I will sell it all
for one year of time
for you
I will pay for a lifetime
if it will help you see
I want that magic mirror
for you to look into
so you can recognize
yourself
as potential
as opportunity
because
that’s what I see
to send you away
for your good
or for mine
I want to save you
to catch you
and if I cannot
I want others there
to do it for me
I cannot help myself
but want the best for you
that my money can buy
these days that is not much
But
I will sell it all
for one year of time
for you
I will pay for a lifetime
if it will help you see
I want that magic mirror
for you to look into
so you can recognize
yourself
as potential
as opportunity
because
that’s what I see

Cat, this is positively BEAUTIFUL!
And SO appropriate--you likely will NEVER know, how bulls-eye-close you came today...to us.
I heard as the pellet bulleted past my ear (zing!).
Thank you.
Wow ... just Wow.
Hi Cat, I'm back after a while. to read your poem was for me a warm welcome back. anyone that care so much for someone will identify with such a beautifull post. I just think "Exquisite". I will also read some of your previous ones.
powerful
Very well said! Very much what I wanted to hear.
I love this picture of the kitty cat looking in the mirror and seeing a lion. Your words were beautiful.
Cat,
I am most certaintly going to bookmark your poetry corner. It's beautiful, well-written work ... I love them all!!!
I wish I would have found your 2nd corner of the sphere sooner...
warm smiles,
Amazing!
I want to sell a year...
